Entertainment from Charlotte's Troubles

Chapter 208 A 9-Minute Monologue
Seeing so many people, Yuan Hua frowned, walked to the podium and said: "The interview is only for juniors and seniors of the acting department. If you don't meet the requirements, please leave."

It was true that he wanted a fresh face, but it was not an ordinary face.

But to have a new face of acting.

Why are so many people here to join in the fun?There are also people taking pictures with their mobile phones. Those who don’t know think they are here to chase stars.

"Why are you standing still, get out!" Seeing that no one moved, Huang Lei roared.

Otherwise, Huang Laoxie is more powerful. It is said that Xie Na also came to Nortel back then, but he didn't bring his admission ticket, so he was forced to cry and fail the exam.

After being yelled at like this, it wasn't the students from the acting department who left, and most of the classroom was immediately emptied. Some of the acting students outside had no seats before, and they would squeeze in one after another.

"Xiao Jiu, hurry up, sit here, the podium is closer here."

A girl in a hooded sweater quickly occupied two seats with her resume, and then pulled another boy to sit down.

The boy was a little shy, and said in a low voice: "Ji Lei, this is not good, we are not juniors either?"

They are both sophomores.

With wide eyes, Ji Lei said: "Now I'm a sophomore, after the exam in June, I'll be a junior. It's not like I'm going to start the machine right away. I guess there's still some time left before it's too late."

"Besides, if you don't say who knows you are a sophomore, don't let it slip for a while. If you miss this opportunity, it will not be easy to join a big crew in the future."

Acting schools are very popular. For Nortel alone, the number of people applying for the art test is tens of thousands every year. Counting other acting schools, the number of people applying for the exam is as small as [-].

But the performance department only admits dozens of people at a time, which is even more exaggerated than Tsinghua University and Peking University.

Because of what, don't you think it's easy for actors to make money, and the money comes quickly, and the salary can be tens of millions or tens of millions.

But only those who come here know how cruel this industry is. After graduating and entering a filming group, you will become a star step by step. You want to eat ass.

Graduating is good, the school has a screening mechanism, and the last one in each semester will be expelled.

You may not be able to film after graduation, it doesn’t matter, if you don’t have connections, then you are finished, let’s start with group acting, I don’t know how many years it will take to get ahead.

According to statistics, among those who graduated from the acting department, in a class, there are only a dozen people who are still working in the acting industry five years later.

Most of them who came to audition were unconnected, and they came here to fight for a chance. After all, the crew in Hengdian would not be as impartial as Yuan Hua in selecting people.

Closer to home, Huang Lei went to the corridor and yelled a few words, and after a while everyone walked away cleanly.

"As expected of you, Teacher Huang, you can control the students' fear at any time." Yuan Hua teased.

"I'm doing it for their own good, but I won't be able to stay for long, and I won't have a chance to dominate in the future."

Yuan Hua's face changed: "Aren't you a teacher? Why?"

Mr. Nortel, this is an iron rice bowl, and there are countless resources behind this iron rice bowl.

The number of students that Huang Lei has taught in these years is unknown. It is no exaggeration to say that there are many students in the entertainment industry, and some people are willing to sell his face.

"There is less time for filming, and I can't keep up with the times. How can I teach others? I want to re-enter the society for further education."

In the past two years, he has spent a lot of time going out, and he is doing variety shows and filming movies. He doesn't take students very much in school, so it's a bit unreasonable to take up the position for nothing.

There are already comments above.

It is impossible to be on two boats, either the entertainment circle or the school side, there is always a trade-off.

After a period of consideration, he wanted to re-enter the entertainment industry.

"Don't talk about me, let's do your thing."

"Well, well, if you need help in the future, just tell me."

Huang Lei didn't want to go into details, but Yuan Hua didn't force himself. He sat in the middle of the first row and asked the assistant to take out the materials, and then let the students go on stage according to their seats in the class.

The first one to come up was Ji Lei. She put her resume in front of Yuan Hua with both hands, stepped back a few steps and began to introduce herself.

Seeing the girl suddenly smile, Yuan Hua turned his head and followed her gaze. A boy cheered the girl up.

With an embarrassed smile, the boy put down his hand.

"Tie up your hair and turn around to have a look." After the girl finished introducing, Yuan Hua said.

In fact, he could see the girl's information from the resume. The reason why he introduced himself was to see the girl's oral expression.

"Perform a piece of talent, language."

Compared with acting skills, Yuan Hua pays more attention to the lines. Generally speaking, the acting skills of those who have good lines are not much worse. If the lines are not good, the acting skills are definitely not good.

"Don't you see the water of the Yellow River coming up from the sky, rushing to the sea and never returning, don't you see the mirror in the high hall with sad and white hair, like blue silk in the morning and snow in the evening..."

"next."

On the back page of the girl's resume, Yuan Hua put her resume aside.

The second one is the boy from just now. It should be this boyfriend named Ji Lei. He looks good, but Yuan Hua has no intention of accepting him.

He doesn't like actors falling in love in the crew, it will affect the performance, unless they are acting as a couple.

But there are no couples in the movie "White Night Chasing the Murderer".

"next."

After the boy introduced himself, Yuan Hua put his resume on the other side.

The interview was very fast, one in a few minutes at the beginning, and one in a minute later, each character was in Yuan Hua's mind, and he could tell at a glance whether it was the person he wanted.

It's right, just try the lines a little bit, and if there are too many people, there will be another round of screening in the afternoon.

There were more than 100 people in the classroom, and Yuan Hua managed them all in less than two hours.

There are several stacks of resumes on his left, and twenty or thirty resumes on his right, forming a stark contrast. The sharp-eyed students can see that the ones on the right should all pass the test.

Standing up, Yuan Hua picked up the resume on the right, and read the name again: "Those who read the name will come to the classroom again in the afternoon, and there will be a second round of interviews. The other students are sorry, you don't meet the requirements."

"It's embarrassing to keep everyone waiting for so long. As a senior brother, I would like to invite everyone to have a meal in the cafeteria at noon. I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate in the future."

The school cafeteria is not expensive, the cheap ones cost a few yuan a meal, and the expensive ones cost tens of dollars. Yuan Hua borrowed a meal card and charged thousands of dollars to go in. After getting a meal, he put the card at the window. The students in the drama eat what they eat by themselves.

Huang Lei had already been busy with his own affairs, and did not come. Yuan Hua took a look at the dinner plate, and finally sat down in front of the teacher who helped keep it going today.

From the very beginning, he felt that the teacher looked familiar, but he couldn't remember it. He wanted to ask the name, but the teacher left after the audition began.

I didn't expect to run into each other in the cafeteria.

"What's the teacher's name?"

The corner of the man's mouth curled up: "I'm not a teacher, I'm a student."

He has been misunderstood like this not once or twice, he is used to it.

Yuan Hua: "..."

Three 40-year-old students?How many levels does this have to stay.

Not to mention undergraduates, postdoctoral fellows look old.

"The maintenance is really good."

"Pfft, cough cough cough, I'm 38 years old." Stretching out his hand, the man said, "Hello, my name is Yu Entai."

Shaking hands lightly, Yuan Hua smiled and said, "I mean, why does it look familiar, so it's Lu Xiucai."

In the year when he debuted, rumors of martial arts were on the rise, and a host of male and female leading actors are also flourishing in the entertainment industry today, but Lu Xiucai is an exception.

There are very few works after Wulin Gaiden, and they disappeared for several years.

"You're not from Nortel, are you?"

Judging by his age, if he is from Nortel, he should be a few years older than himself. There is no reason why he has never heard of it, and it is impossible to study at Nortel now.

"It wasn't before, but it is now. As for why, it would be a long story. You should think that I am studying at Nortel."

Oh, Yuan Hua nodded, took out his mobile phone Baidu Yu Entai, and he knew why in a few seconds.

This old man is emotionally addicted to reading.

He has attended all the three major acting academies, and all of them have to get a master's degree.

In the past two years, he also won the best actor of the Macau Film Festival.

Smiling, Yuan Hua said: "So I'm still your senior brother."

"Well, it is indeed Senior Brother."

"I'm casting for this drama. I don't know if you are interested in trying a role. I think your current image fits a character very well."

There are two high IQ characters in Bai Ye Chasing the Murderer, one is Guan Hongfeng and the other is Han Bin, both of whom are consultants to the police force.

The difference is that the two think about the crime scene from different perspectives. Guan Hongfeng reasoned from the evidence at the scene, many clues, and strong experience and intuition.

Han Bin is brought directly into the perspective of the criminal, from the murderer's visual reasoning, which is simple, crude and effective.

He is a mysterious man with thin cheeks, wearing glasses, and a gentle appearance, but he is actually as careful as a hair, with terrifying reasoning ability and powerful martial arts.

The most puzzling thing is his character, which is outside the law and is both righteous and evil.

Yu Entai's elegant personality fits Han Bin's image very well, and Yuan Hua thinks he can handle this role.

I heard that his acting skills are also good. When we first filmed Wulin Biography, the director said that he wanted to play a scholar and asked him to recite the Analects of Confucius, but he really ran to memorize it.

As a result, one sentence was useless during filming, Lu Xiucai became a sour scholar, and the sentence that was on his lips all day was what Zi once said, followed by his lines.

After so many years of filming, so many years of studying, and so many master's degrees, Yuan Hua feels that his abilities should be good and can be used.

Yu Entai pushed his glasses and said, "Are you the lead actor? If you are, I can consider it."

"I'm the main character. You are probably the third male lead. We have a rivalry scene."

"Leave a contact information, and you can give me the script later."

"Okay." While adding his mobile phone number, Yuan Hua said, "The show is called Bai Ye Chasing the Murderer. It is adapted from a novel with the same name as the original work. You can read it."

"He also has a prequel, Redemption on the Blade, which is about Han Bin, which is the character you play, and I recommend it to you as well."

The white night chasing murder trilogy, the other two are redemption on the blade, rebirth.

Three novels and three stories, but they are related to each other.

The protagonist of Baiye Chasing the Murder is Guan Hongfeng, Redemption on the Blade is Han Bin, and Rebirth is Qin Chi.

Both Bai Ye Chasing the Murderer and Rebirth in the previous life were filmed, starring Pan Yueming and Zhang Yi respectively, but the redemption on the blade was not filmed.

I have to say, it's a pity, after watching Redemption on the Blade, Yuan Hua felt that Han Bin's story was as exciting as Guan Hongyu's, and even better than Guan Hongfeng's.

It is estimated that the subject matter involved mercenaries, and the script could not pass the review, so it was stranded.

"Okay, I'll write it down, and I'll definitely read it when I get back." Yu Entai wrote down the names of the two novels in a memo on her phone.

The two chatted for a while. Seeing that more and more people were watching Yuan Hua in the cafeteria, and the mobile phone flashes kept taking pictures. After eating quickly, Yuan Hua went to the classroom ahead of time to wait for the students.

In one afternoon, more than 30 people were screened and only five or six were left.

He came here this time to screen the leading role, not a small supporting role. If it's just a small supporting role, there's no need for him to go there himself.

These five or six people played roles with more scenes and a higher rate of appearance.

He doesn't want to use familiar faces from the entertainment industry for these roles, for fear that the audience will be impressed and it will be easy to skip scenes.

……

At 03:30 in the afternoon, the students left, Yuan Hua smoked a cigarette, sat down and chatted with the assistant director, and the assistant went out to use the bathroom.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk!"

A few minutes later, a man with long hair knocked on the door. He was in his 30s, 1.8 meters tall, and his face was full of bumps and marks of youth.

But don't say it, if you look closely, it's still pretty handsome.

This kind of handsomeness is not the greenness and sunshine of young people, but maturity and stability.

The door was open, and the knock was just to attract Yuan Hua's attention. The man walked up to Yuan Hua and said, "I'm not late, am I?"

"It's not too late, it's still half an hour early, please sit down." Yuan Hua pointed to the chair in front of the podium.

Sitting opposite Yuan Hua, the man smiled lightly and said, "Although you must have done my research, I still want to introduce myself. My name is Wang Longzheng. I am very glad to receive an invitation from Yixin Film and Television to audition."

"I really want and am willing to join your crew, I hope to have this opportunity, thank you."

A few days ago, he received a call from Yixin Film and Television, telling him to come to Nortel for a test play at four o'clock this afternoon, and at the same time give him part of the script.

In the circle, who doesn't want to act in the dramas of Yixin Film and Television, the dramas produced by their family are very popular, especially online dramas, it is said that whoever plays them will become popular.

He is just an ordinary actor. He has not been well-known since his debut for many years. He was very happy to be invited, so he arrived half an hour early.

"Thank you for coming, but whether we can cooperate or not depends on fate." Seeing the assistant came back, Yuan Hua asked him to close the door, lights, and curtains.

The classroom instantly went dark.

Looking around with a smile, Wang Longzheng said: "Is this the beginning? Can I have a cigarette later?"

"Yes." Yuan Hua handed over his own cigarette, and Wang Longzheng waved his hand to indicate that he had it.

Keeping the assistant and the director away from him, Yuan Hua said, "I'll play Guan Hongfeng for you. The content of the audition is the last scene. Zhou Xun's monologue in the interrogation room, is it okay?"

"no problem."

The crew gave him three scenes, and Yuan Hua talked about one of them, which was also the most difficult one, because he needed a 9-minute monologue for this scene.

Five or six pages of lines, long paragraphs, add up to four to five thousand words, it seems that the scalp is numb.

Standing up, walking back and forth in front of Yuan Hua, Wang Zhongzheng sometimes looked at him, sometimes scratched his head and sighed.

"Have you started yet?" the assistant whispered.

"Shut up!" the director scolded him.

Returning to the chair and sitting down, Wang Long was looking diagonally upwards, remembering something, and spoke after a few seconds.
